Happy Friday! I am pleased to report that Chicago’s snow is gone! (Well, it’s not completely gone. There are dribs and drabs left over from shoveling’s piles and perhaps a wee bit in the shady spots, but let’s call it gone, okay?) In celebration of the warmer temps, I cut a bunch of pussy willow branches to force, and they’re lending a bit of color to the house, too. Yay for spring!

On with the Five:

Best of all (except for the bleary eyed Sunday morning) is that Daylight Savings Time arrives this weekend! Here’s to meals outdoors, flowers, and a glass of rosé. (Credit to E on that one.) Have a wonderful weekend + I’ll see you Monday.
